Construction of housing - it's not an easy task, and arranging furniture, many mistakes that kill and comfort, and comfort. Consider the most popular interior failures.
Error 1. Add all the best at once
Keep yourself in their hands in furniture stores. They offer customers a wide range that the untrained person simply head is spinning. Often it ends up buying all the favorite things. As a result, room is made in the baroque style "combine incongruous" and the owner again dazzled, but not in the store, and in his own house.
How to Do Better
Remember a simple rule: the room can be only one visual center - a subject on which the gaze is focused. This may be a bright sofa or chair superuyutnoe, beautiful picture on a wall or lamp interesting design. All other furnishings - minor, they do not have to drag the attention. Their task - to emphasize or supplement the center of the composition.
Error 2. Arrange the furniture along the walls
Put an end to this relic of the Soviet past! In those days, the rooms were smallAnd they had to somehow fit a sofa, folding chair, bulky rack, desk and so on. Today, much more spacious and apartments, and furniture more compact, but the stereotype that the center of the room should be empty, somehow still alive.
How to Do Better
Place in the middle of the room sofa, easily separate the space rack or desk - and you will see how much more comfortable it will be. This arrangement - the easiest way to the space zoning.
Error 3. Ignore the location of the outlets
In the pursuit of beauty, people often forget about practicality and arranged the furniture, not taking into account the location and number of outlets. Modern man needs them much more often than we think. "Flipped through" social network in the morning, read a book or watch TV series before going to bed - we almost always need a handy power source for charging gadgets.
How to Do Better
To avoid confusion in the web extension or suffer in uncomfortable positions, waiting charged smartphone or laptop, place the furniture so that then the device can be safely connected to a power outlet.
When planning living space always proceed from the functional components: sockets, windows, ventilation doors. Near a power outlet organize a place to read or work with your computer: a bedside table or a coffee table and a comfortable size and height of a table lamp will be very helpful.
Error 4. Try to fit too much furniture
Ships tacked, tacked, but not vylavirovali because space is suddenly narrowed. As a rule, people who seek to be placed in the room as much furniture as a result are frustrated because the room becomes like a warehouse. Wade between the sofa and coffee table, regularly stumbling over the leg of the latter - so-so fun (and even this is very painful).
How to Do Better
Even a large room will turn into a small hole, if you put it in all possible variations of furniture. The room must be "air", so leave a need for it. For small spaces, excellent output will be furniture-transformer.
Error 5. Do not include storage space and free surfaces
Growing up, many people forget about the basic rules of order: each thing has to be your place. And gradually apartment covers chaos. Iron on a desk, a sock on Ficus, remote - under the pillow. Then it turns out that on the windowsill rose a pyramid of books, boxes of shoes blocked part of the room, and summer are hidden under the shirt on hangers cardigans and down jackets.
How to Do Better
First assess the number of items in the apartment. Almost exactly one third can safely refuse: to throw out magazines, give clothes to hand over old books. Then think about how you can place things in which there is a daily necessity. Storage systems for seasonal apparel and footwear (crates, boxes, baskets) will hide easily under the bed or in a closet, for books and most precious trinkets fit hinged corner shelves or other furniture, where they can accommodate.
All extra leave in the past, the right organize and lay on places of storage.
Error 6. Do not take into account the dimensions of the room
Rely solely on your own taste when buying furniture is not very reasonable. For example, placing the interior of the dark objects in the room with a low ceiling makes it more visually tight, which, of course, has little to do with comfort.
How to Do Better
Your choice - a compact furniture neutral light shades. Visually increase the height of help and correct placement curtains: Select wider pieces of fabric and hang as high as possible.
Avoid these mistakes, do not be afraid to experiment - and your apartment will be not just housing, but a comfortable home, where it is always nice to come back.
